Orange International Street Fair Poster 2008

One of my favorite times of the year is Labor day, because not only do I get a three day weekend, but I also get to drink delicious beer and eat food from a large assortment of countries and the Orange International Street Fair!  What?  You say you’ve never heard of it?  This is the 36th year of celebration as the City of Orange brings together over 50 charity organizations from around the area to give you tastes of food and drink from around the world.  This year’s fair starts Friday August 29th and concludes Sunday August 31st.  The location is at the Orange Plaza Sqaure, where Chapman and Glassell meet.

There is food, beer, entertainment, beer, children’s activities, beer, music, beer, and beer!  It’s really a great event and it helps a lot of local charities.  This will be our third year going, it is very convenient living close by since parking is difficult.

Here is just a sampling of the different foods you can enjoy!

That is just about half of what you can except at this year.  Look for me on Sunday with my entourage hanging out at Irish Street while the great local Orange County band, The American Wake rocks out!

And remember it’s all for a good cause, the city of Orange does a fantastic job every year.

Del Taco Grand Opening - Ontario

August 22, 2008 · Filed Under OC Food News · Comment 

Just wanted to let those of you that live in Ontario near Jurupa and the I-15 that there is a new Del Taco that officially opened up yesterday.  I went there today to pick up some lunch and it was packed.  The parking situation is going to be a little tough till they figure it out.  But you get the same great Del Taco that you are accustomed to and it’s definitely in a great spot because there aren’t many choices around.  I had a brief talk with the owner (Gary) and he was dressed in uniform helping customers and making sure people were getting their orders.

Del Taco
4850 E. Motor Ln.
Ontario, CA 91761

I’ve included a map for those that happen to be in Ontario and want their Del Taco fix!

Wow today is my week over at Griffin Eats OC.  He went to not one, but two places I recommended this week!  First he went to Lazy Dog Cafe in Orange, had exceptional service, great food, and loved it.  Next he went to Cha Thai in Orange and loved the soup but wished they made the rest of their food spicier.  Glad you liked the places Griffin.

Then today Gustavo over at OC Weekly did a review for PK Burger, which is one of the best hamburger joints located near my work.  I’d like to think he went there based on my review, but one can only hope that’s why.  If you are out there Gus say hi, I read you all the time in OC Weekly.

I have reviews coming, in fact I have 6 waiting to be wrote up (Taco Adobe, Memphis, BJs Pizza, El Faralito, Wings ‘n Things, Blake’s Place), been a very hectic week at work, and I lost half of the pictures I took when I was out.

Thank you everyone that has visited the site lately.  Also wanted to give a shout out to my main site sponsor Foodbuzz who is taking some of us OC Foodies out to dinner next Thursday!  I’m looking forward to meeting you all!
